Best Man Down Page #4

Probably a friend

from law school.

Or a restaurant maybe.

[ SIGHS ]

So, after the autopsy...

they're gonna ship the body back

to Minnesota by budget courier.

Budget courier?

Is that a normal thing? I don't know.

I've, weirdly, never had to ship

a friend's body anywhere before.

It's still gonna be $2,000.

We don't have it.

Not after the open bar and the

welcome baskets for the guests.

And a $2,000 dress.

So it wasn't worth it?

Come on. I didn't say that.

We're gonna have to use

the honeymoon money...

for the funeral though.

What choice do I have?

Kristin, he was my best man.

[ ALARM CHIMING ]

Hi.

Aren't you supposed

to be in school?

Someone's gotta shop for food.

Yeah. Well, you don't

have a job.

Neither do you.

Why you gotta be like that?

I'm trying to make things work,

you know?

I thought we had a deal here.

I don't like that deal.

I didn't ask if you liked it.

Hey.

I'm not finished.

I'm not finished.

[ DOOR SHUTS ]

This is your family, Ramsey.

Whether you like it or not,

we're family.

# Under the covers

# A man can tell

# It's my world

# That I'm in

# Without you near me

# You know I need ya

# I want you to be

# Oh

# [ VOCALIZING ]

# Under the table

# Nobody there

# Under the ceiling,

under the stairs #

# A funny feeling

# My head is sleeping

# I want you to be

# Oh

[ NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE ]

# In the morning

# I'm waiting for you

# To come back home

You're welcome?

# [ VOCALIZES ]

# [ ENDS ] Can we just go?

I have to tell your mother.

No!

I know what I promised,

but I could get in serious trouble here.

[ GROANS ]

It was just cold medicine.

You don't look

like you have a cold.

[ COUGHS ]

You're lucky I was able to talk the sheriff

into releasing you into my custody.

Yeah, really lucky.

Ramsey.

Ramsey, wait.

Ramsey.

Look, it's seriously decent of you

to spring me from my incarceration.

But I'm fine, okay?

I know why people buy cold medicine.

It's to make crystal meth.

Why'd you steal it anyway?

I just gave you money.

I spent it.

On drugs?

Don't you have

candles to light,

or, like,

wine and crackers to hand out?

That's what you think I do?

Mood lighting and catering?

I don't do drugs, okay?

You only have a couple of more

months of this. Don't blow it!

[ JET ENGINE WHINING ]

[ SIGHS ]

Oh, my God.
